2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 1, 2014 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 Spend the same money upgrading to windows 7 and you'll have a working disk again. Check the spec of the laptop first Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2. Administrators Jabo Posted June 1, 2014 2. Administrators Report Share Posted June 1, 2014 2gb is pushing it a bit though for windows 7.<br /><br />The code sticker should also tell you if you need the service pack 1 or 2 version. You'll need the right version otherwise the code won't work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum B16Enk Posted June 5, 2014 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I used powerline in the UK without issue, with the more recent ones that is. Zyxel (sp?) pretty good make and support is good, one failed so they sent a replacement pair. Using a TPlink pair here in the US, discovered the power supply for the shite AT&T modem/router actually knocked the powerline network out. Had to plug it in to a surge protector strip (the power supply that is) and all is good again streaming Netflix in HD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1. DDz Quorum Friar Posted June 6, 2014 Author 1. DDz Quorum Report Share Posted June 6, 2014 Hay Roger, Hope things are going well for you over the pond. Actually I took the plunge and went for a pair of TPlink 500mbs yesterday in fact. Worked straight out of the box and the daughter is now happy again.
